Here are a few from last weekend's noodling (as well as the 1985 50¢ I mentioned before). The Fiji is a "frosted" as they call them -same appearance as our proofs.

And this one! Has two "dents". Doesn't look like PMD to me. Could it be a strike through? I found a $1 with similar effect last week.

Nup. That's a cold shut that's fallen out. The obverse looks like a heavy hit from another coin though. Got a bigger piccy?

Lovely finds BTW. How DO you do it? :dodgy:

Ha ha.

If quantity was the answer, I'd be drowning in awesome finds. Yet some of you guys seem to have the midas touch when it comes to noodling. :dodgy:

First, find a coin press then start engraving...:mocking:

Goldies right -the more you search the luckier you get.

Fulvio,
Here are a scan and microphoto of the obverse anomaly. I can't see any displaced metal which I would expect from a hit and no scrape marks if it was gouged out.

This looks a lot like a strikethrough. Definitely not a hit. I don't think its a cold shut, based on the smoother bottom and really shallow marks above it which look like bits of fluff.

I'd happily give this a home if you ever decide to ditch it. :angel:
